this answers my question before quite well http://members.aol.com/carleyware/library/ar1192.htm

Why just exhaust valves? what is so special about the intake valves? i understand they are cooler (obviously) but wouldnt there be a high risk of intake valves dropping too? or are they really safe? i think we need a few of the guys with high kw rb25/30 conversions to come back and give us a hand again

if this is true, it might be a good idea to get some other head work done at the same time, when you are aiming for high KW. porting and cams if not done + valves will be expensive, but would shoot your max KW output up a fair bit

With the argument for heatsheilding the turbo piping. how about just doing the intake from filter to turbo, then from intercooler too plenum? or better yet, getting a set of temp probes and seeing how hot the air inside the various parts of the plumbing is compared to ambient?? surely that would settle the heat sheild debate....

yeah thats what i figured. was going to set it to like 3-5 psi when i finish the transplant. just for the run in till i get something bigger

thats true, but you can use it for running in on low boost can't you?

ok guys, heres my basic list. what am i missing, forgetting to include? ********* going into r33 so gearbox stays stock bottom end.... BLOCK: Series 2 NA VL cleaned/sanded, then dipped PISTONS: NA VL CONRODS: NA VL, sanded then Shotpeened CRANK: RB30 crank, balanced BEARINGS: Nizmo big end bearings : Nissan main bearings OIL PUMP: RB25DET or RB26DETT with JUN adaptor : need to use RB20/25/26 oil dip stick //maybe scavange from current engine WATER PUMP: RB30 water pump FLYWHEEL: any RB wheel // scavange from current engine CLUTCH: current engine item top end.... TURBO: stock RB25GTS-T item, or whatever the car has on it HEAD: RB25E head // something gives me the impression that going down the NA head route is much MUCH easier in the end. PLENUM: RB25DET FUEL RAIL: RB25DET alternate top end.... TURBO: what car has HEAD: what car has PLENUM: what car has FUEL RAIL: what car has misc.... Cam Belt: Dayco 94470 RB30E thermostat RB30E Head Gasket RB25DET head studs //from engine RB25DET gasket set ******* No rush fellas, this will be a slow process and i want to get it right the first time EDIT: haha fellas, real funny. no really, can i have some help?

i dont know Guilt-Toy, but i wish they would keep up the good work this is a great thread guys, dont let it die now! im very interested in this modification, and i think i will build up the engine while i save up for the car at the same time im in the process of working out EXACTLY what parts i need to swap into an r33 gtst. i plan on building it up then selling the engine in the car once its complete and tested ofcourse (although using the RB25DET as a parts bank seems good at the moment too ) if someone doesnt mind helping me out when i get around to my list, i would much appreciate it. 29 pages to re-read to get it right
